TUE GERMAN MENACE STILL LIVES. RtPrtir3 of what th-e Tatest news from Berlin roy be, -vcbeürer favorable or unfavorable to tho monarchist crowd, it 1 too early to pronounce iifdfjrriwit. Vrhat happened Saturday was tho consummation of a month of rumblings; an nttempt vrhich the allied world had been anticipating with pprehensrons. for a considerable time. Possnbly the Soct has ben a bit premature and may have to be abandoned; and, possibly too. the apparent relaxation 1 for the purroe of throwing the l'bort pov-fnnu-nt off its ruard.

This oup d'et:it is provins: di-'juiet-lnp throuqhout the world, repardt'.s of late report? of apparent failure. It is ordinarily no rightful concrn of nny other rountrv vhat V:ind of government rules in Gerinany. Thia i not an ordinary time, however. The German people, throuph their qualified representatives, have entered into certain solemn contract with the tat es that vanquished the (jrinun cmpire. The f.'jithful dicharpo of the obligation-? hssumed is etential to the pacification of Europe and the world. Tlie Kbert povernment wa? resti"e of ju.st demand made uj on it. It achieved more sucos ii this than should have been permitted, or would have been permitted. had not the United State-, by the rno of a "copperhead" senate he. come ;m international "slinkard." But in the sypbt of certain German elements the i'bert povernrr.ent wns weaker, even in spite of Gie American opportunity afford'-d it. in it1 declines with the entente. The , hief r.bject of the reactionaries a ho have gained power in the Wilhelni-s-trasse is to put up stiffer resistance to the conouerors. In substance, they prnposn to ter tho dp. K'ree of the victory which was secured in ibe field and r-ominlly confirmed by Germany's ;i - ept a neo of t!te terms of the treaty of Paris. They mean to make trouble for the enten'e nnd if possible to force Germany back into it? nld position of rer .'.nionp the nations. So the revolution of ery trre.it concern to the victorious nations. They niust stand by their punand prevent the realization " of the hope.-? of old German autocracy that are bricht nod by its return to the houej of povernment. Complete success of the junker-militarists would revive all the monaces of the pad; menaces that could not have arisen, would not have dared to have arisen, had the United States senate pi von the I'nri- treaty its sanction as it should have, lonp aero. The Le.-ipnie of Nations as a workinp institution would have been such a formidable rival in any attempt of the German monarchists to restore themselves, and resurrect the empire, that they simply -would, not have taekled it. The senate majority by playin polities, and silly politics-, can concrntulnte itself upon it? splendid contribution to this latest of world's alarms.

An American woman in Moscow s.iys she doesn't dance "because dancinc; mak -s one so hunpry." It's a, pathetic plimpse into the Russian food situation. And yet. if hunper would abolish Russian dance, the world might be almost disposed to harden its heart.

An old-fashioned woman says our middle-class pirls today are so lazy, selfish, spoiled and dissatisfied that it makes her all the prouder of beinp a mid-Victorian. And inasmuch as miphty few pirls have any Idea what either "middle class" or "midVictorian" means, there won't be anv hard feelings.

Urem the spirit with which New Jersey and Uhode Island are waprinp their liquor controversy with the United States provernment, we pather that they'll probably secede from the Union if the country remains dry.

Tin: .i:kmax rivoiatio.v. (Indianapolis Xws.) Whatever else the German revolution, engineered by the reactionaries and supported by the old army, may mean, it certainly mean that this nation should at once pet into closest touch with its former associates by participating, in the deliberations of the supreme council and enterinp the League of Nations. While there is no occasion for alarm there U the preatest need for united action. What will hapren in German can not be predicted. This revolution may or may not succeed. The socialists are opposinp the new movement, and have denounced the revolt as "military." In a proclamation issued on Saturday by the social democratic partv it is said that the purpose is to "enforce tho recognition of the imperial povernment." The old government, which fell without a strupple, is said to have established itself at Stuttgart. The soldiers that marched into tterlln were thoe recently withdrawn from the Baltic states, and are all loyal to the old regime. The new chancellor. Dr. Kapp, is a violent reactionary. It seems probable that the military leaders, with the support of the army, will be able to maintain themselves in power, as they always have done in Germany. Hut whatever l.iay be the result, one ought to be able to see thai he allied case against Germany is not yet closed. There may even be ditliculty in enforcing the peace terms. We have been r ailing away from our associates ever since the signing of the armistice now it is time to move in the other direction. The Germans have steadily been prowing more Insolent. On three different occasions they have assaulted official representatives of th" allied powers. It is announced that the army ofricers have taken an oath that they will never surrender those Germans charged with crime, whom, by the terms of the tieaty. they are bound at least to bring to trial in their own courts. Undoubtedly the present detachment of America from allied vor.iuils has been interpreted and represented a evidence, if not of her hostility to her former associates, at least of her indiiYerence. There been Americttns. including Sn. Kno. who have denounced the terms imposed on Germany as too harsh. In the senate there has been more criticism of England than of Germany. Only a f-w days ago. the proidvnt declared, in the face of the world, that tho imperialists were in control of the government of France. Our unpardonable failure to ratify the treaty, and our talk of a separate peace w it li Germany have had a mot unfortunate fiet.;. Now we can put an end to all misapptvh n.-:on. and convince even an imr erialistic p evr.meT'.: iu Germany, by promptly taking our place beide th" allied power? as we did during the w v.r. We must have something approaching unity ; : heme, show th;r we are n!e to sink all personal : ml par'S in corsideration. and present , an un-b-.okeu fr. m ro this new peril.

More Truth Than Poetry

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

TUFA AND NOW. If all the good obi tales are trtie. the cave man, when he went to woo. Would grab a rail, and club his frail Until she learned to love him. The maiden, so the stories say. when courted in this curious way Was quite content to wed the pent, And thought the whole world of him. If we could woo in 5ich a style, our courtships would be well worth while; We needn't slave and scrimp and save For candy, shows and flowers. It wouldn't need a ring or pin. a charming lady's heart to win. We'd take a rock and tap her block, And lo! She would be ours! Hut if we tried to win a maid as did the cave man, we're afraid She'd turn on us and fume and fuss And make things quite unpleasant. This theory of courtship may be suited to an elder day, lint Just tho same, it's not a game, That's safe to play at present. And we suspect, -if truth were told, that even in the days of old. When rave men tried to win a bride, I5y bending saplings double Across her pretty little head, that he instead of getting wed More often got an awful lot Of beating for his trouble.

SIIYYL. Sibl, the English favorite which has become so popular in this country, was brought intact from Roman mythology. The fdbyls were prophetesses, half human, half divine, but not immortal, whom etymologists say, jrained their name through a Greek word meaning "Zenus council." At any rate, they were very wise and very very History recalls that it was the Cumbean Sibyl who guided Aeneas through the infernal regions .and it was she who brought the roll of prophecies to Tarquinius Priseus. which Vergil afterwards embodied in his eclogue and through which he won his semi-Christian fame. There are Sibyls in the Sistlne chapel, the work of Michael Angelo. As Sibilla the name came into Christian uee.

There it belonged to the Anperin queen of Jerusalem whose marriage gave so much trouble to the Crusade. It was very popular among English ladies of noble blood. Spain adopted it and straightway changed it to the soft Sevilla or Sebilla. made famous in the songs and poetry of that period. Sibella was the favorite Scotch and Irish form, though Sibyl and Sibbie wre also popular there. Russia Ikus a curious form Ss.ivilla. The aquamarine is Sibyl's talismanic stone.
